No space left on device?

[jordo]

Hello I have a problem...
I am running Linux 2.6.11.9-050512a
with plenty of disk space and RAM (as far as I know).

From time to time when viewing a site on my server I get this error:
-----------------------------
ERROR MESSAGE (to user):
Software error:
mkdir /tmp/FileCache/mydomain.com.conf/d/7: No space left on device at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/Cache/FileBackend.pm line 222

ERROR MESSAGE (logged):
[error] 8377: ModPerl::Registry: [Sun Jan 15 23:11:48 2006] -e: mkdir /tmp/FileCache/mydomain.com.conf/b/c/b:
No space left on device at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/Cache/FileBackend.pm line 222\n
-----------------------------
here is my server stats:

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 521748 495260 0 100% /
none 517072 0 517072 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda7 65312284 3525056 61787228 6% /home
/dev/sda5 5119900 1043728 4076172 21% /usr
/dev/sda6 5119900 1774492 3345408 35% /var
-----------------------------

I think the problem is that I need to allocate more memory to /dev/sda1

If you think this is the problem as well...how can I increase it?
Can this affect other things on the system.

Thanks,
Jordo

Thanks RedMan, How do I clean up the /temp?

Will I cause problems if I delete everything that is under /FileCache/adomain.com.conf/ ?

How can I avoid this?

Thanks,
Jordo

Here's my df output. What can I do? I'm a total linux noob.

The problem is that Linux command df -i shows that there are too many files on the filesystem and all the "inodes" are used.

Look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inode

This problems usually occurs with tar, because this is one of the greatest file creating programs

Check the solutions for your filesystem what to do when out of inodes.

Hope this helps.
